The accompanying unaudited 2013 financial statements of Uniprop Manufactured Housing Communities Income Fund II, a Michigan Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The balance sheet at December 31, 2012 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013, or for any other interim period. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. |

As described in the Form 10K for year ended December 31, 2012, management initiated the Sunshine Village Paid Home Relocation Program (the “Program”). The Program was offered exclusively to residents of Seminole Estates, a 704 site, age 55 and over manufactured home community in Hollywood, Florida that announced its closure. As of September 30, 2013, 40 residents have successfully relocated. The Partnership has incurred expenditures of $858,485, of which $789,640 has been capitalized and is being amortized over the life of the residents’ three year rental period. Management estimates an additional $80,000 of relocation costs will be incurred to complete the Program. |

As described in the Form 8K dated July 26, 2013, the Partnership closed on the refinancing of the first mortgage loans secured by Sunshine Village, located in Davie, Florida and West Valley, located in Las Vegas, Nevada with a new lender, namely Cantor Commercial Real Estate. The gross loan amount secured by the first mortgage on the Sunshine Village property is $6,720,000. The gross loan amount secured by the first mortgage on the West Valley property is $12,600,000. Both loans mature in August, 2023 and bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.09% with principal payments based on a twenty-five year amortization period. |
|
To satisfy the requirements of Cantor Commercial Real Estate, the ownership of the fee title of each of the properties was transferred into bankruptcy remote special purpose entities. The fee title to the Sunshine Village real property is now held by Sunshine Village MHP, LLC. The fee title to the West Valley real property is now held by West Valley MHP, LLC. Both of these entities are wholly owned by IF II, Holdings, LLC, a newly formed holding company which is wholly owned by the Partnership. Sunshine Village MHP, LLC, West Valley MHP, LLC and IF II, Holdings, LLC are all disregarded entities for federal income tax purposes. |
|
The ownership transfers were made solely to meet the requirements of the lender and do not change the beneficial or economic ownership of the properties by the Partnership. In addition, to facilitate credit approval from the lender, Roger Zlotoff, President of Uniprop, Inc., and his spouse provided a “Guaranty of Recourse Obligations” for both loans. The Board of Directors has approved a guaranty fee of $25,000 per year for Sunshine Village and $37,500 per year for West Valley payable to Mr. Zlotoff. This fee effectively adds 30 basis points to the annual cost of the financing. Net closing proceeds after deducting the payoff of the prior mortgages of $11,383,289 and the payment of closing costs and fees to third parties of $665,193 were $7,271,518. The net loan proceeds have been added to cash reserves of the Partnership. Unamortized financing costs from the previous mortgages for these properties in the amount of $179,395 were written off during the quarter. |
|
The interest rates on the mortgage loans for the other five properties owned by the Partnership were recently adjusted with Standard Insurance Corporation or “StanCorp” by accepting the interest rate re-set option available under those mortgage loans. The new interest rate on those five notes is 5.00% and the amortization period is twenty years. Another interest rate re-set option is available in five years. |

We have evaluated subsequent events through the date of this filing. We do not believe there are any material subsequent events which would require further disclosure. |
